Create a plot using plotly

In this section, we will use plot_ly to graph sepal length against petal length. The color scheme is based on the flower species

plot_ly(data=iris,x=iris$Sepal.Length,y=iris$Petal.Length,mode="markers",color=iris$Species) %>%
layout(title="Mapping Sepal Length vs Petal Length",xaxis=list(title="Sepal Length"),yaxis=list(title="Petal Length"))
